Getter Setter / Property

My first language is Swift and I'm really confused about the property thing. I have learned in Swift courses that property is a variable inside a class what is the definition of property in java ?

Hi Peter,

Yes, they are the sme thing, I think. A class can have a member variable, or property, which can be accessed using getter and setter methods.
